Ford and Lincoln dealers in the United States delivered 172,612 new vehicles in January 2017, a 0.6 percent decrease compared to January 2016. Cumulative sales of the Ford brand decreased 1.6 percent to 163,827 units, while Lincoln sales increased 22.4 percent to 7,785 units.

“The new year brought strong consumer demand for F-Series, Lincoln and record SUV sales, especially high-end models,” said Mark LaNeve, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “This drove near-record company average transaction prices for Ford, up $2,500 versus a year ago and far outpacing the overall January industry increase of $550.”

Ford F-Series sales increased 12.52 percent to 57,995 units, supported by strong retail gains from both the F-150 and Super Duty. The F-Series was up 19 percent at retail, with gains in every region. January represents the best sales start for the F-Series since 2004.
